Professional Underwater Hull Cleaning
Our underwater hull cleaning services help:
-
- Improve fuel economy
- Restore vessel performance
- Increase cruising speed
- Reduce engine workload
- Prevent excessive marine growth
- Protect your vessel's hull
Routine hull cleaning is one of the easiest ways to improve your boat's overall performance while helping extend the life of your running gear.
Propeller Changes
A damaged propeller can dramatically affect handling, fuel consumption, acceleration, and overall vessel performance. Instead of scheduling a costly haul-out, our professional divers can replace many propellers while your vessel remains in the water.
We provide:
- Propeller removal
- New propeller installation
- Propeller inspections
- Hardware replacement
- Running gear visual inspections
Fast underwater propeller changes help get you back on the water with minimal interruption.
Zinc Anode Replacement
Sacrificial zinc anodes are essential for protecting your boat from galvanic corrosion. As zincs wear away, they protect expensive underwater metal components including shafts, props, trim tabs, rudders, and other running gear.
Our diving team routinely inspects and replaces:
- Shaft zincs
- Propeller zincs
- Trim tab zincs
- Rudder zincs
- Hull zincs
- Other sacrificial anodes
Replacing worn zincs on schedule helps prevent expensive corrosion repairs and extends the life of your vessel's underwater components.
Underwater Vessel Inspections
Not every concern requires hauling your boat out of the water. Our divers perform detailed underwater inspections to identify potential issues before they become costly repairs.
We inspect:
- Hull condition
- Running gear
- Propellers
- Shafts
- Rudders
- Trim tabs
- Intakes
- Through-hull fittings
- Marine growth
- Corrosion
- Damage from debris or grounding
Following the inspection, we'll explain our findings and recommend any necessary repairs or maintenance.

Routine diving services can help:
- Improve fuel efficiency
- Reduce operating costs
- Maintain top speed
- Protect underwater equipment
- Prevent corrosion
- Extend the life of running gear
- Catch problems before they become expensive repairs
Regular underwater maintenance is an investment that helps protect your vessel year-round.
